central scouting had Camara ranked 78th.... must have some upside....Posted by days-of-Orr

Now that I look at it I think the upside is that he is still 17 so he still has plenty of room for development at the Junior level. Next year likely will determine just how much upside he really has....

Khokhlachev has terrific skills and instincts for his age,really for any draft eligibleplayer this year.Has the makings to be a top fight goal scorer at center of left wing(he shoots left handed)and is more than a one way player,he will play defense and is tough for a 17 year old.He,like their third rounde Camara,has confidence and has a good work ethic according to his coaches.A first or second line center or left winger in 2-3 years.I truly believe the B's first two picks were excelent>someone said Camara is to replae Thornton is 2-3 years and that may well be the case.His coach disagrees with those who say his skill level isn't NHL calibre and feel he'll not only bring grit but reasonable offensive talent.We'll see but again they got blind lucky to get Hamilton and fortunate on the second as well.The pipeline already beefed up with talent.

44. ALEXANDER KHOKHLACHEV

Made a smooth transition to the OHL, leading all draft eligible rookies with 34 goals and 76 points, and then topping all rookies in playoff scoring with 20 points. Finished second in scoring at 2010 U-17's with 13 points in six games. Strengths - He's gritty, he's a smaller guy, but smart and he gets dirty. already plays a North-American style, one of the draft's younger players with early September birthday. Hustles at both ends, has good anticipation. Quick, accurate release. Weaknesses - Skating is average for a 5-10 prospect, skill is okay but not elite, gets most of his points through hard work and hustle. Needs to be more consistent. He's Russian and could always disappear in a year or two. NHL Upside - With improved skating, second or third-line center.

"Every day hockey," he said. "I love to go to practice, go training. It's very interesting just go to the rink every day for practice or for training for your work. It's why I dream to play in the NHL. This is my life. I just breathe hockey."

7. Alexander Khokhlachev

Because: He’s this year’s Vladimir Tarasenko. If his name was Joe Smith from Canada and there was no Kontinental League threat, I would have him third on this list.

Team thoughts: I would love to see Washington or Pittsburgh nab him. The Caps are already solid with Russian prospects and I think that helps their reputation in Russia, which in turn encourages those players to come over. He would, of course, need to convert to the wing, though.
